This upward momentum led ETH to break above the $2,000 zone for the first time since March 27. Moreover, the asset has been outperforming Bitcoin over the week, suggesting a shift in market dynamics as investors favor Ethereum amid changing sentiment.

This recent uptrend appears to have been strengthened by heightened institutional adoption. A recent report from LookOnchain highlights how companies are accumulating more ETH in recent times.
Abraxas Capital, a London-based investment firm specializing in digital assets and traditional finance, recently withdrew 49,644 $ETH ($92 million) from the exchanges Binance and Kraken, suggesting that Institutional accumulation of Ethereum remains strong, as large firms move substantial amounts of ETH off centralized exchanges.
